Started the day off at Borough Woods in Morpeth in the hope of seeing Marsh Tit, and was not disappointed with a male singing as soon as I got out the car next to the bridge. Also seen throughout the woods were 3 Jay, 3 Treecreeper, Nuthatch and Great Spotted Woodpecker amongst other woodland regulars.
I then went on to Northumberlandia in the hope of Brambling, and again was not disappointed with 20+ around the feeders by the car park. The female Scaup was also still showing well with 7 Tufted Ducks.
